'Thus, animal abuse can be used to uncover or predict other forms of abuse.'

abso- fuckn -lutely. Thats why I find it insane that fathers dont want their little boys to have stuffed animals or to not cry if a small animal dies. It is so important a kid develops empathy and compassion before the age of 11. And easiest way for them is with animals.

Otherwise you got a sociopath on your hands.

Agreed, in some of my psych classes, it was suggested that even younger, as young as 5, children have already developed hard-wired tendancies and behavior patterns. Patterns that prove unchangeable.

gimme a fcuking break, guys. I'm sure there are a lot of average joe doing the same thing Michael vick does, and we never heard about them. Now, because it's mike Vick, everyone of those animal lovers are coming out of the woods to sentence this guy forever...hahaha. Every Prick outthere are showing up outside the court house to get their face on camera. Again, I'm not saying killing these creatures is alright, but people MAGNIFY this shit twice bigger than it should have been. all of a sudden, everyone is sensitive about it...hahaha. what's next?

thats amazing, i remember when my nephew was 6 or 7, he was still having trouble empathising with our family pets. He couldnt grasp that they needed to sleep or be left alone at times, couldnt empahtize at all. ...I was worried, but thank god, he got in time and his a normal great kid.

It does seem like overkill, but the fact is those people absolutely know what goes on out there to other animals, thats why when something like this is uncovered they go ballistic, its bottled up frustration from knowing what really goes on in the world. To other people it seems unrealistic and over the top, but if you understand they are expressing their anger for all abused animals not just the few in this case. That may be unfair, but what else can they do. People just do not listen about the other abuses. So this is their time.

They should've sentenced that fucker to 3 underground cage fights with no rules, that would've set him straight those guys would break every bone and tooth in his body, lol. he'd come out a cripple.Just like those poor dogs he had fight.

Hugepecs your logic is a bit off, why should we follow China's lead, a country that treats animals and people like shit.

The US and the Brits have always set standards for civility and should continue to lead the way, once we stop we become a shit hole. The fact that we can extend compassion to other species is a testiment to our superiority and advanced civilization.

BTW i am not an animal "lover', they dont need love, just respect and anyone who harms them to make money is shitty human being.
